I'm for a modest student debt forgiveness program (which I think is what Biden will do) but as you shift from "modest" to "total" debt forgiveness you are increasingly talking about helping dentists and lawyers rather than sympathetic cases. https://t.co/lmFCDbCyqg— Matthew Yglesias š¦ (@mattyglesias) December 24, 2020

Convincing Joe Manchin that curbing the filibuster would allow the passage of legislation that Joe Manchin is enthusiastic about > yelling at Joe Manchin that upholding the filibuster is blocking the passage of legislation that Joe Manchin is iffy on.— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) March 2, 2021

To be provocative: What if instead of backing someone good for the open 2022 Ohio senate race who will almost certainly lose to someone terrible, we backed an independent bid by John Kasich who would probably win and in office serve as a check on democratic backsliding?— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) March 1, 2021

He should lead that charge. Maybe give up the substack to manage that campaign.

You have to have eaten lead paint as a child to think you can sway Manchin by facts and logic or that he has some ideological core that would require abolishing the filibuster to accomplish. Cutting off the tops of mountains and protecting his daughters revenue arenāt impeded by the filibuster.

been enjoying the free weekly post i get emailed from matt's substack. his writing on vox had definitely gotten less saucy compared to slate era. it's interesting the trade-off ppl like him make in switching to mailing lists where they can either maintain or increase their income while (a) increasing their writing output and (b) tanking their reach (he tweeted some numbers a while ago comparing substack views to vox articles and it was orders of magnitude lower). in his case in terms of policy influence it likely doesn't matter much bc enough DC people will read him, and he still has a million twitter followers, but it is kinda crazy that someone who has been so saturated in the discourse now writes 7/8 posts a week behind a paywall strictly for his biggest fans that are willing to pay double an nyt online subscription to read them

He still does a Vox podcast iirc

I wonder if you could make a substack advice column work - Dear Prudie but flatter the yuppie readers and advice-seekers with the veneer of exclusive access and a guaranteed response once a month or whatever
― Joe Bombin (milo z), Tuesday, 2 March 2021 17:23 (three years ago) link
yeah seems like the writers having big social media followings is pretty central for the proposition, but once you have that ability to get yr message out the whole thing makes a lot of sense, and not having advertising simplifies the whole thing so much from tech staffing and editorial perspectives xp
